Purple Posse

Overview of Position

Each spring Residential Services selects about 100 student volunteers to assist new students and their families during Wildcat Welcome move-in day. As a Purple Posse volunteer you will show residents and their families that you care! It is also a great way to promote the name of your favorite student group.
